Every year, Apple releases the best iPhone ever, but the iPhone 7 feels different somehow. All of its major details leaked ahead of time, not to mention a good handful of rumors about next fall's iPhone, which could be a major redesign with an OLED screen and no Home button.

A10 Fusion chip is crazy fast; approaching laptop speeds; Great camera performance

No headphone port; so you can't charge and listen to wired headphones at the same time

Apple's shiny new iPhone 7 was launched with the full force of iOS 10 and is one of the most hotly anticipated smartphones this year. But has much really changed since the launch of the iPhone 6S?

Water resistant; Stunning design; iOS 10 fantastic; improved camera

Need an adapter to use wired headphones; form factor seems very jaded

The iPhone 7 has more speed, a better camera, double the storage, and a more vibrant screen.

No radical redesign, no resolution boost and no headphone port. If you look at what the iPhone 7 is missing, at least on paper, it's all too easy to dismiss Apple's latest pocket blower as just yet another iterative update. There's more to it than that though. A lot more.

Brilliant Force Touch home button; Finally plays nice with water; Beautifully; vibrant display

Missing 7 Plus's dual camera; Lack of headphone port a little restrictive; Only certain colours show off design wins

Has gone from 4 to 5, for 6+ and then to this. Each step of the development has been tremendously satisfying, and even now. This is the best iPhone I have taken so far, and although the step from 6+ not feel as great as in the previous models, so it definitely feels as if moving in the right...

It's ironic, a new iPhone is usually the specter hanging over rival smartphones, but it's the promise of their unannounced successor that looms above the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus .

Excellent camera performance; Finally water-resistant; iOS 10 and the A10 Fusion are fast and smooth; Display is beautiful

RIP headphone jack; Jet Black is a scratch-magnet; Your old cases probably won't fit

Every year, Apple releases the best iPhone ever, but the iPhone 7 feels different somehow. All of its major details leaked ahead of time, not to mention a good handful of rumors about next fall's iPhone, which could be a major redesign with an OLED screen and no Home button.

First it giveth, then it taketh away. The iPhone 7 is a decidedly mixed bag in terms of innovation. A 'solid state' capacitive button has replaced the squeezy Home button of old and, lest we forget, the 3.5mm headphone jack has gone in favour of Apple's new wireless standard.

Top performance; water resistant; bigger storage; camera upgrades

Same-old design; questionable innovation; no fast-charging

And it's got no you know what

Iterative design; Large bezels; We like the Plus a lot more

Iterative design; Large bezels; We like the Plus a lot more

Apple's latest iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are faster, sport significantly better cameras, expand system-wide haptics in iOS 10 with a new solid state Home button and Taptic Engine, introduce Wide Color and other major Retina HD technology improvements without changing their display resolutions, add new...

iOS 10 makes 3D Touch much more valuable; Great battery life even when using LTE 4G; Fast A10 Fusion chip is so efficient you get an extra hour or two of battery; Improved cameras deliver better photos; dual camera Plus is particularly versatile; Water resistance means you can take it virtually...

No headphone jack means you can't charge using wired headphones
